New player: how to get gil?

[MMO-casual]

Hi all.

So i have only been doing my archer/bard quests from lvl 1 and dinged lvl 80 and finished close to everything in Shadowbringers.

Usually every 10 levels or so ive been using the small amount of currency and gil i've had to upgrade my gear a little bit, to make the progress smoother.

Im just playing MMOs for the storylines.

I misclicked and bought items, so im basically "almost at zero" gil. I had around 500.000.


I cba to do any "auctioneering" and i havent enabled "retainer" yet.




Some questions...


1.
Would it be possible for me, if need be, to create a single alt and buy "multiples" of this item: https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ff...gb/product/574 and transfere 300.000 gil to my main character?

(do i reallllly have to level this one to lvl 17, enable retainer to get markedboard access for it and post a item on my main character, so that the alt character can buy it (and transfere gil that way?.... edit... dang... ..seems you can only do this once per character...)


2.
Are there any other fast and legit ways to get gil?
(not playing the game/farming, but stuff i can buy with irl money and convert it into gil ingame somehow).


Cheers !
